There is no mention in the documentation/readme on how to uninstall fang hack.

Would be good if this was added to the documentation

Just remove the SD card.

Small system modifications are made when you click Apply on the status page:
    A modified sdcard hotplug script is placed on the device to automatically mount ext2 volumes.
    Modified rc.local and rcS scripts are placed in /etc/init.d to enable hacks when the device is rebooted. It also disables copying original files from /root/etc_default to prevent overwriting changes to files in /etc. This poses a risk so always be extra careful when editing files in /etc
    The fang_hacks.sh script and cfg file are placed in /etc.

To clean the device and restore it to its original mode one need to undo these operations. For example remove all /etc/fang_hacks.* , copy /root/etc_default/rcS and /root/etc_default/rc.local over /etc/init.d/ etc...

Same problem, can PLEASE someone with a clean system, upload a copy of the unix system so we can at least compare and restore the critical files?

At least init.d/rc.local and rcS.

Since I did the hack, the QR isn't linking with the app anymore. An added problem is that it is an Ismartalarm spot, so it is even more difficult to find a back up.
